Relaxing dog walk along a salmon river on Vancouver Island

Join me and my dog Skye for a relaxing walk along a quiet salmon river early morning on Vancouver Island. Gentle music and ambient forest sounds blend perfectly with the occasional tinkle of Skye's bear-bell.

    I think you're finding what other youtubers find -- it's a lot of work, and you get tired and feel pressed to keep finding content. Starting is one thing. Continuing without repeating yourself is another. So yes, take the summer off, and we'll still be here! And thank you anyway.

After I watched your Patreon videos I really saw the hours of work that go into these videos. I also get that life is ever changing so what you have been doing will change & evolve. Thanks for your commitment to Silver & Solo. I love the content & you are so down to earth which is so refreshing. 😊

    I'm an older solo, too. One of the things I've recently taken up is painting. I'm terrible at it but it's meditative and not having the pressure of thinking I have to make something that pleases other people is very pleasant. That said, I'm going to try doing a real portrait. On the off-chance that I get a recognizable likeness, would you be comfortable with it if I tried painting a portrait of you? Entirely ok to say no. I just feel like you own your face and you should have a say if someone uses your image so I don't feel comfortable going ahead without asking.

However, I believe that improving your thumbnails could significantly enhance the overall presentation of your videos. As someone with three years of experience in thumbnail design, I believe I can help elevate your channel's visual appeal. Let me know if you'd like to discuss this further and explore how we can better enhance your thumbnails to represent your content. Best Regards, HASNAIN GRAPHICS.
